God
is Thought.
Thought is the source of
all power; only Thought creates. Angels are the fruit of God’s
Thoughts; you
are the fruit of God’s Thoughts. The brightness (glory) of our
revelations (our
corrected now holy Thoughts of God) depends upon the correctness of our
doctrines,
our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another
like the
rungs (stairs) of a Jacob’s ladder, ascending into the mind of Christ. Angels
are the Thoughts of God created as Spirits. You and I each are a corrupted
thought (spirit) of God, a criminal temporarily confined
(imprisoned) in
a human body. We all are fallen angels, but a willing few
of us
are being restored, reinstated, repaired, reconditioned
back into Heaven and fellowship with Father God.
WHEN/WHERE
IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN??
(Luke
17:20,21) And when he [Jesus] was demanded of the
Pharisees, when
the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The
kingdom of
God cometh not with observation [Gk: ocular evidence]:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold
[Gk:
used as an imperative lo: see], the kingdom of God [the
kingdom of heaven] is within you [Gk: inside
you] [IS
WITHIN YOU].
1.
(Matt
19:23,24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
That a
rich man shall hardly [syn: barely, scarcely] enter into
the
kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier
for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter
into the
kingdom of God.
2.
Commentary:
the kingdom of God/Heaven is not only “inside you” but also NOW.
What does that mean for you when applied to you? How
does knowing
that affect you?
(Luke
19:11,12) And as they [everybody] heard these things,
he [Jesus]
added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem,
and because
they thought that the kingdom of God [heaven]
should
immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman [speaking
of Himself prophetically] went into a far country [to
recede from our sight (from our visible and conscious awareness), into
the invisible
subconscious of our mind] to receive for himself a kingdom, and
to
return [to our sight (to our visible conscious awareness),
and the full
consciousness of our mind, otherwise described as “the glory
which shall
be revealed in us” (Rom 8:18), “But we have the mind of
Christ”
(1 Cor 2:16); however, social scientists say that only 10% of our
functional
brain capacity is currently activated].
1.
consciousness
= Dict: 1. the state of being conscious; awareness of one’s own
feelings, what
is happening around one, etc. 2. the totality of one’s
thoughts,
feelings, and impressions; conscious mind.
2.
subconscious
= Dict: 1. occurring without conscious perception, or with only slight
perception, on the part of the individual: said of mental processes and
reactions. 2. not fully conscious; imperfectly aware
–
subconscious mental activity.
3.
(1
Cor 2:16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may
instruct him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
4.
(Rom
8:18,19) For I reckon that the
sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the
glory which shall be revealed [Gk: to take off the
cover,
disclosed] in us [REVEALED IN US]. For the earnest
expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation [Gk:
disclosure:
appearing, coming, be revealed, revelation] of the sons of
God.
THE
MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD
(Judg
7:18-22) When I [Gideon (Heb: feller, warrior /// to fell a
tree), a
type and shadow of Jesus Christ] blow with a trumpet [1
Thes 4:16], I and all that are with me, then blow ye the
trumpets also
on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and
of Gideon
[i.e., the Holy Spirit]. So Gideon, and the hundred men
that were
with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the
middle
watch [10 pm]; and they had but newly set the watch:
and
they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers [thereby revealing
the flaming torches] that were in their hands. And the
three
companies [representing (under the command of) God the
Father, God
the Son, and God the Holy Spirit] blew the trumpets, and brake the
pitchers [Heb: earthenware] [“And the LORD formed man of the
dust of
the ground” Gen 2:7], and held the lamps [Heb: flaming
torches] in their left hands, and the trumpets [Heb:
a
clear sound] [i.e., the Word of God] in their right hands to
blow
withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
And they
stood every man in his place [“Resist the devil, and he
will flee
from you” James 4:7] round about the camp [of 135,000
Midianite
(Heb: brawling, contentionous, discord, strife) unsaved warriors]:
and
all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the
three
hundred [chosen combat warriors] blew the trumpets, and
the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow [look
around you,
that is happening today, in person, nation, world], even
throughout all
the host: and the host fled [from Gideon (Jesus
Christ)]
to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto
Tabbath.
IN
FLAMING FIRE
(2 Thes
1:7-12) And to you who are troubled
[Gk: (in) tribulation] rest with us, when the
Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven [REVEALED FROM HEAVEN] [and
where
is heaven?] with his mighty angels, In flaming fire
taking
vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction
from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of
his power;
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints [GLORIFIED IN
HIS
SAINTS], and to be admired in all them that believe [ADMIRED IN
ALL THEM
THAT BELIEVE] because our testimony among you was believed) in that
day.
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you
worthy
of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his
goodness, and the
work of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
may be glorified
in you [GLORIFIED IN YOU], and ye in him, according to the grace of
our God
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
“I MUST
BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S
BUSINESS” (Luke 2:49)
(Luke
19:13,14) And he called his
ten servants [Gk: voluntary slaves in subjection,
subserviency” bondmen], and delivered them [His] ten
pounds [Gk: a certain weight] [i.e., one pound to each
servant],
and said unto them, Occupy till I come [i.e., return].
But
his citizens [Gk: townsmen] hated him [Gk:
(hatred); detested (espec. to persecute); to love less],
and sent
a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign
[Gk:
rule] [preferring “mannon” (Gk: wealth) (Luke 16:13) which is “the god
of this
world” (2 Cor 4:4) personified in Satan, to reign] over us.
1.
Commentary:
“ten pounds”
Gk: a certain weight = i.e., something of substance, a
thing to
be borne, shouldered (carried, supported) like the Tabernacle, from
place
to place. As a servant in service to
the
nobleman, the “pound” is something one willingly accepts
responsibility for. Symbolically, that something
belonging
to the nobleman and accepted by His servants consists of His
Thoughts,
the Word of God, the Bible.
a.
responsible
= Dict: expected or obliged to account (for something, to
someone); answerable;
accountable. [i.e., trustworthy]
2.
Occupy
= Gk: to busy oneself with, to trade /// a deed: business,
work
/// practice, perform repeadedly or habitually.
Amen
